1. A method for generating control data for the formation of a tooth flank by milling a workpiece on a numerically controlled machine tool with at least 5 axes, at a universal machine tool, through successive passes with a milling cutter on the machine tool based on generated control data, the method comprising:

  • defining a geometry of a tooth flank,determining a contact pattern area on the predefined tooth flank geometry,determining parameters to vary the predefined tooth flank geometry, andgenerating control data on the basis of tooth flank geometry modified based on the defined contact pattern area and of the defined parameters.
